Description:
"Gilman embraced the theory of reform Darwinism and argued that Darwin's theories of evolution only presented the male as the given in the process of human evolution, thus overlooking the origins of the female brain in society which rationally chose the best suited mate that they could find.
In doing so, Charlotte believed very seriously that Charles Darwin accidentally subjugated women by installing male sex selection, which requires constant sexual contact as opposed to a more periodic sexuality, thus leading to the oppression of women through rape and violence."
This quotation came from here, which has plenty more in the same vein:

Liberty Leading the People was by Eugene Delacroix in 1830
The Intervention of the Sabine Women was by Jacques-Louis David in 1799
